The Autocracy of Saliba is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed population of 25.179 billion Salibans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — prioritizes Law & Order, with Environment, Education, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 94.7%.

The enormous but underdeveloped Saliban economy, worth a remarkable 1,124 trillion gold nuggets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming and Gambling. Average income is 44,643 gold nuggets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

The most common psychiatric diagnosis is to 'stop whining and grow up', workers' complaints never reach central planning, shelters struggle to keep up with the endless intake of stray animals, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saliba's national animal is the toucan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
